Never to the dark side Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 at 10;00am get in early, and if all the 1,500 tickets are sold we will get the bottom section for a further allocation up to a final allocation of 2,500 DON'T HANG ABOUT, GET IN EARLY, DON'T WAIT UNTIL THE END OF MONDAY AFTERNOON and for those who miss out,we could another beam back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original OTIB Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Truly one of the worst grounds in the country, made even worse by the fact that a significantly large proportion of seats in the ground are restricted view, mostly in the top tier of the away end. When they say restricted, they mean it. DO NOT BUY; as for most of the other "GOLD" tickets, in the main you won't even see much more than the crossbar of the goal at that end. They say they have moved the pitch but it so marginal as to make little difference, i understand. The bottom tier is pretty awful as well but not as bad; but not open for this match, of course.

Robbored Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I've been to Loftus Rd many times and the away upper tier is pretty dire as the OP says. Best to try and get a side stand ticket if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Original OTIB Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Only top of School End available. The club should have sent back around 400 tickets, not just the ones marked "restricted view". Unless you are in the first few rows upstairs, your view is rubbish. Joke of a club QPR.

They are seriously restricted by their location. No room anywhere to redevelop. They're pretty much stuck with the stadium and are quite aware just how the restricted the away fan view is but are powerless to do anything to improve it so to call them "a joke" is very harsh and unfair.

The Original OTIB Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 I disagree. They could sell fully unrestricted seats in the top and the bottom tiers and make that the maximum allocation.They could also move the goal another yard forward. That would not seriously detract from the pitch size. So, yes: a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HLR Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 In all seriousness then, is it even worth paying for tickets if the view is as terrible as being made out? Never been to QPR before - And if I aint going to see anything, think i'll give it a swerve.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chaplain Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Hmmm nervous now, just came here after buying a couple of 'Gold - Restricted' view, it seems all the other 'Gold's' have gone ...

RedM Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Never been before, got silver tickets which I now understand they are all sold out.

Fat Cigar Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Was there a few years ago when we lost 2-1. Not the game Maynard scored that screamer...unfortunately. We had the lower tier and the view was ok but not brilliant. I can't be doing with this restricted crap though. Will never buy a seat advertised as restricted. Is this a new(ish) thing now clubs advertising seats as restricted? I wonder if they have to. Something to look forward to if ever make it to the promised land: I know Anfield and Goodison Park have quite a few restricted seats for away fans. Long live the new identikit stadiums! At least you can see the pitch. All of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Restricted Sight Line means you may not be able to see the goal line, normal prices apply. Restricted View means there is a stanchion in view of one of the goals, reduced in price.

Photos like these keep cropping up from various grounds and they almost always distort the truth. A club wouldn't sell a ticket with this view because they know it would be guaranteed to generate complaints, or worse still a disturbance at the game, which wouldn't make it worth their while.

And for a few quid less you can have the option of adding a stanchion/pillar/post to that view too. Good grief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 So are the issues with views a consequence of all-seater requirements? In other words, does the view become unrestricted if everyone is standing? Anyone know? Just interested to know the reasons because you surely wouldn't design a stand with such bad views, even in Victorian times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume that it became a problem when seats were installed - from the front rows it's now hard to see the near goal line, guess it wasn't a problem if you were stood up?
